I will run a US trademark search and clearance screen
Smart trademark research, Clear reports, Safer brand moves
About this Gig
Need a US trademark search before filing? I screen USPTO records, similar marks and common law web use, then deliver a trademark clearance report with practical preliminary risk flags.
Choosing a name for a company, product or service is easier when you can review relevant search findings before investing in a launch. I research one proposed word mark against US federal records and, by package, selected public sources. Your report lists the closest hits, why they may be relevant, source links and questions to discuss with a qualified trademark attorney.
What You'll receive:
- Search of the agreed mark and goods/services area
- Exact and selected spelling or sound-alike checks
- Relevant pending and registered record findings
- Selected web/common-use checks in Standard and Premium
- Clear, organized PDF report with links and date searched
- Preliminary flagsnot a legal opinion or promise of registration
Please send the exact name, any alternate spellings, what you sell or plan to sell, and your launch timing. I do not file applications, contact third parties, guarantee availability, or replace advice from a qualified attorney. The report reflects the sources and date stated in it.

FAQ
Can you search a US business name before I form my company?
Yes. I can screen the proposed name as a preliminary trademark research step, state business-name availability and trademark rights are separate checks.
Will you search similar-sounding names, not just exact matches?
The Standard and Premium tiers include selected spelling and sound-alike variants. Basic is a narrower exact-name screen.
Do you check pending USPTO applications as well as registrations?
Yes. I report relevant pending and registered federal records found on the search date.
Can you tell me whether my trademark is legally available?
I can identify and organize potential conflicts, but I cannot guarantee legal availability or registration. Ask a qualified trademark attorney for a legal clearance opinion.
Does the search include common-law use outside the USPTO database?
Standard and Premium include selected internet searches; Premium also includes selected state/business-directory checks. No search can locate every use.
Can you check a logo as well as a word mark?
Premium can include the wording in one logo. Full design-mark image analysis is not included unless specifically agreed.
What information do you need about my goods or services?
Tell me what you sell now and what you realistically plan to sell. Related goods/services can affect how similar marks are assessed.
Can you search outside the United States?
This gig is for a US-focused screen. Contact me before ordering for another jurisdiction, separate official databases and scope will be needed.
Will your report include links to the records?
Yes. I provide source links and a search-date note so you can review the cited public records.
Do you file the trademark application or guarantee approval?
No. Filing, prosecution and approval guarantees are not included, the report is research support only.
